2008-10-15 - The Bridges V - East to West

apologies if it came across as alienating.. what i mean is that, i want to ride a ss properly.. kinda like a bike messenger, where as now, when i ride one i am so nervous and constantly thinking about slowing down and thats in a park!!
of course the hipster in me wants to look good.. but first and foremost i wanna ride fast and do tricks.

With a fixed it is easier to slow down as you have so much more controle through your legs. A lot of it is anticipating what is ahead and managing your speed/ cadence acordingly. It is something you just need to get used to and you can only get ued to it with time on the bike.
